Chapter 516

Author: Moon in the Starlit River
Abel’s voice was roguish, and his tone was teasing.

Ruth’s ears turned red as Abel pinched her cheeks. Her exasperated voice lost all its edge. “Promises are subjective. Stop fooling around!”

The man laughed softly. His voice was magnetic, and his chest trembled slightly.

Ruth placed her hands on his chest and felt like she was touching electricity. Her palms felt a little warm and numb.

“You...!”

“I’ll give you one more chance. You better make the most of it.”

Before Ruth could react, he kissed her again.

This vile man seemed to have fallen in love with this game of teasing her. He only let go when she was almost out of breath. Before she could recover, he pulled her into another deep kiss.

He was a little too happy with this game.

Ruth became furious. She would rather die than lose. She grabbed Abel's wrist with one hand, pressed his shoulder with the other, and thrust her knee against his abdomen. Ruth was about to flip him.

Having grappled with her on the bed before, Abel

    Ruth replied, [Can you guess why I asked Alex to monitor my office?] [There’s a mole in your company!!!] Ruth put down her phone without replying. She could not really call it a mole. There were, after all, many people in Lockton Corporation who could not stand her but still coveted what she had. …... Winter soon arrived, and the finals of the jewelry competition arrived. With Seema and Leroy’s new jewelry line about to be released, the competition itself became less important. Of course, the spokesperson for the new releases also gained a lot of attention. The spokesperson for Leroy’s new work was undoubtedly Callum’s beloved youngest daughter. To be more precise, she was alleged to be the Lovehart family’s youngest member.There were rumors circulating that the Lovehart family had acknowledged their long-lost daughter and was about to hold a banquet. After that, they would also hold a press conference to reveal her identity to the media and the outside world. At the

    Ruth leaned back in her chair and looked at Callum coldly.Callum met her calm gaze and felt inexplicably guilty. “She isn’t as easy to manipulate as before.”He was silent for a few seconds before he said self-righteously, “I understand that Miss Demi is an artist in your employ, and you want to help advocate for her. But as a shareholder of Lockton Corporation, you should look at the big picture! The competition has been going on for so long, and Seema and Leroy have always been the focus. As for the spokesperson for Seema’s new work, don’t meddle with it—”“Aren’t you the one who is meddling? There’s no one here who isn’t aware that your dear Luna has become the Lovehart family’s youngest daughter? Or is there more to your relationship with the Lovehart family?” Ruth interrupted him coldly.Callum’s expression changed slightly, and he flew into a rage out of humiliation. “You b*tch! What are you implying?!”Ruth raised her eyebrows. “Isn’t that what it is? There are so many fem

    Ruth repeated, “The spokesperson for Seema’s new work. What do you think of Katie Lovehart?”Dulcie immediately raised her voice. “Is there something wrong with you? I don’t think so! Miss Demi and her team just came over, and we’ve already signed the contract with her. Why are you telling me this? What’s going on? Did the Lovehart family threaten you?!”Ruth did her best to suppress a smirk. She was very dissatisfied with Dulcie’s reaction. “I just said that this was suggested by the board of directors.”After a few long seconds of silence, Dulcie chuckled dryly and said, “Then, you can explain it to the board of directors. Sorry, but we’ve already decided on our spokesperson, so there’s no need for them to worry.”Ruth nodded. “I’ll pass on the message. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”After she hung up, Ruth tossed her phone on the table and looked at Callum and the others. “I did it, but I was a step too late. They’ve already signed the contract with Demi.”The man was

    After Leroy left the office, Callum fell into deep thought.The industry had a fixed impression that Seema was exceptionally talented and never had a creative block.But this time, they actually followed Leroy’s creative direction?Did they actually get a creative block and plagiarized Leroy, or were they actually suppressing the new work of other designers this way?If it was the former, it would be good news for them! Exposing Seema’s true face would show them who was actually in charge! However, if it was the latter, he would not let them off easily!Therefore, he might have to consider the official announcement of the theme suggested by Leroy.......Ruth walked out of the office just in time to see Erica holding a glass of water and yawning as she headed for the pantry.In Erica’s own words, working in the afternoon was too torturous. She had to listen to some gossip to sober up.Ruth waved at her. “Erica, come here.”As soon as Erica saw her, she stifled a yawn.Damn

    Since she was told such a big secret, Erica found it hard to hold back the gossip. But if news got out at this time, wouldn’t she be the first suspect?“That’s not right.”When Ruth explained why she wanted Erica to stay, she had casually praised that gossip was her strength.“Are you hoping that I’ll spread this?” Erica asked, just to be sure. “So, which part needs to be kept secret? Or can I tell all of it?”Ruth was happy that Erica was so perceptive. “Other than your work, the rest is fine.”Erica was speechless.After she left Ruth’s office, she returned to her seat in a daze. She was still holding the empty cup in her hand.It was quite a dilemma for Erica. Other than the details of her own work, was it really okay to spread everything else? Although it was an indirect order, Erica was not sure if she should go through with it.That meant that her previous suspicions were true! Ruth had been helping Seema’s workshop as a Lockton Corporation employee!“Erica, you look lik

    They arrived at a high-class restaurant. The environment here was quiet and charming.Ruth and Notus sat by the window. Notus took the menu and asked Ruth’s preferences as he ordered.“Do you prefer spicy or non-spicy food?... Do you have any dietary restrictions or allergies?... Where’s the seafood on this menu?... How about red wine? Can you drink that?”At first, Ruth wanted to answer him, but eventually, her frown deepened, and she grew impatient. She ended up completely ignoring him.After the waiter left with their orders, Ruth coldly reminded him, “Mr. Notus, you don’t have to go through so much trouble. If I can’t agree to something, I won’t agree no matter what. If I can agree to something, there will be conditions, naturally.”Notus laughed out loud. “Your frank personality is quite similar to mine. I like it!”Ruth was speechless. She thought. “Do I need you to like me?”She stared at him in confusion for a long time, but did not say anything in the end.When the dis

    Notus got up, took the straw from the cup, and walked out of the restaurant.As soon as Ruth left the restaurant, she saw a familiar Rolls-Royce parked outside. Abel had just gotten out of the car when he saw her hurrying over.“Are you okay?”When she heard his voice, Ruth felt a little better and shook her head. “I’m fine.”Abel looked up behind her, and his cold eyes flashed with sharpness.They got into the Rolls-Royce, and the car rejoined the traffic.Inside the car, Abel’s expression was dark as he silently narrowed his eyes.Ruth had been angry, but seeing him like this, she could not hold on to her anger. She said, “It’s fine. I just had a meal with him. He’s a reputable person, after all. He wouldn’t have done anything to me in public. I sent you a message because I was worried that you would pick me up from work for nothing.”Abel pursed his lips and asked, “Why was he looking for you?”At this, Ruth was also a little puzzled. “I don’t know. He just asked some baf

    The car drove into Kingsland Manor residential area.Abel was about to follow Ruth inside when Eilam called him. He took the call in the courtyard.Eilam respectfully delivered his report. “Mr. Blakewell, Notus just asked Mrs. Blakewell out for a meal and took a used straw with him to the hospital.”Abel frowned. “Which hospital?”“It’s a private hospital under Lovehart Corporation. It has a DNA testing center.”The sudden silence made Eilam nervous. When he first saw Notus’s behavior, it was a little hard to explain. He kept thinking that this man was some kind of pervert.Who in their right mind would steal a straw used by a woman?However, when Eilam saw Notus enter the hospital and toward the DNA center, he thought of all the things that Abel had asked him to investigate, and an unbelievable thought came to mind.At the same time, he realized that he had missed the best time to stop Notus...“Get Charlie to help you. I don’t want that DNA test report to be in his hands,”

    Galen stood nervously at the side. At first, he wanted to step in and help, but he held himself back.In the end, he gave up and watched the fight.The more he watched, the more startled he was.Despite her delicate frame, her moves were calculated and ruthless.Many of her moves were lethal.She was a young woman who was loved. She was pampered and adored by everyone. How was such a person so ruthless in combat?It was as if she often fought to the death…Mr. Watson was shaken as well. He covered his neck with one hand, while his other hand hung limply by his hand. He looked at Lily in shock. His other hand hung weakly by his side. He looked at Lily in shock.How could such a small and delicate-looking person possess such strength? Was she really the heiress of the Cavendish family?“Do you want to verify it? The wounds match with the one who attacked me. I broke his right wrist on the spot, though. After that, I didn’t wait for reinforcement to come. I moved immediately an

    Her hand paused while hefting the silver fork.Ruth’s husband was really very considerate. He loved her sister truly and everyone in her family.She decided to find a boyfriend like him for herself in the future.“I definitely will!” She thought.She stood in the spacious living room and looked at the man beside Galen who wanted to get to the bottom of this investigation. Her fingers tightened on the fork. “Words might not be enough to explain. If you don’t believe me, why don’t you give this a try?”Galen had not reacted when Charles spoke, nor when Abel had talked about switching it to a blunt weapon, but he definitely did now. “Nonsense!” he said sternly and stood up.Lily’s fighting spirit was ignited, but his stern rebuke deflated half of it. “Why not? Is it now allowed? You said attacking a police officer wasn’t allowed, didn’t you?”“He doesn’t count!” Galen said with disdain.Lily’s aggressive stance was completely deflated. “Well… if he doesn’t count, then his skills

    The seemingly innocent question was directed at the young police officer.He looked troubled.Her delicate appearance did not help.The young police officer turned to the stern-faced man beside Galen for some help. The man pursed his thin lips and spoke in a deep voice.“Your Excellency… Madam… the nature of this case is severe, but the process of investigation is smooth. If your daughter doesn’t reveal the whole truth, it’ll be difficult for us to reach the crux of the issue. I assume that you don’t just want the result from this investigation but also the truth?”His firm voice was authoritative yet respectful.Charles turned to look at him. His brown eyes were calm, and he was sizing up this person.The police officer’s cold demeanor momentarily faltered. He quickly looked away and did not dare look him in the eye. “We’re just following procedures. To prevent this matter from escalating further, we hope for your cooperation.”He sounded intimidated yet resolute. It seemed

    He was already determined to stake everything on his plan.“Right,” Lily said, “What about those bodyguards assigned to protect me? How were they swapped?”“Abel offered them ten times the price and bribed the group of bodyguards hired by Denver. The two poor people were taken down. The rest were replaced by our own people,” said Galen icily.Lily was shocked. She looked at him and then at Abel, who was driving calmly.Ruth looked at her husband with the same shocked face.So, this was how money made the world go round!When Denver had transferred money to that company, Lily had caught wind of it, but it seemed Abel had found out even sooner.He had already made arrangements to take drastic measures.“Don’t they have any morals? I heard that those kinds of organizations have principles. They won’t willingly betray the ones who employed them,” said Ruth.“As long as it’s not a terrorist organization, every organization needs connections. William’s group was already in dire stra

    It was mainly because Denver clearly fabricated an alibi. But he had appeared on the scene and had been taken away.It was indeed quite puzzling.At that point, everyone looked at Abel in confusion.Abel looked straight ahead and did not speak. He only spoke when he was asked directly.“The father and son lost because they didn’t know each other’s motivations. It’s easy to bribe their people to send a message to the other and get them to the scene…”Before they set off, Sean received news that Denver was going all out and wanted to go down with Lily in the manor in the suburbs.Sean did not doubt it because Denver had been acting increasingly strange recently.He was transferring his assets and buying and renovating manors. It was as though he was prepared for death.He had even arranged for his funeral.Afraid that his son was taking things too hard, he put down whatever he was doing and rushed over to the scene.Since that was taken care of, it was easy to deceive Denver af

    “See what you are doing? What if something happens to your sister?”Charles was not known for showing affection or caring about people outright.However, when his daughter cried and threw a tantrum, he could not stop himself.Charles stood by Lily without hesitation and scolded Abel for his incompetence.Ruth was originally filled with resentment and wanted to vent it out on Abel too, but when she saw that the father and daughter duo had joined forces to attack her husband, half of her resentment dissipated.With four bodyguards that had been arranged to deal with two outsiders, coupled with Lily’s abilities, her life was indeed not in danger…She glanced at Lily hesitantly. At this moment, Galen had cleaned up all the stains on her palm.Other than the redness between her thumb and index finger, she did not seem too badly hurt.All the resentment was gone. In fact, she was even a little protective. “Why did you have to deal with the four bodyguards?” Lily lowered her head an

    Everyone was speechless.This discussion was fruitless. Everyone had their own opinions, and no one wanted to give in.In the end, Reina and the old man took a car, while Ruth, Abel, Charles, Galen Barker, and Lily got into another.The fire slowly died down.The cars left one after another.After Mr. Lockton got into the car, his cloudy eyes became shrewd. He asked his daughter, “Do you think that police officer is also interested in Lily?”Otherwise, why would he be so active and rush to the front? Why would he find such a lousy excuse to be the one to drop her home?“I think so, but unfortunately, Lily doesn’t seem to be as interested as before,” Reina said helplessly.Otherwise, why would she reject such a good opportunity to get into his car?Wouldn’t she have acted pitiful enough to earn his sympathy to get into the car?Mr. Lockton frowned. He was in deep thought.The last time he had heard that his granddaughter had fallen in love with another man who happened to be

    Also, she was sure that if it was Luna being attacked at that time, he would have helped her without hesitation.This man was just like Notus. He was stupid, stubborn, and hypocritical.The reason why she spoke on his behalf was that she could not stand Luna’s smug face. Even if she wanted to drag someone down, she had to ask first.It was just the truth. She would not die if she made that clear anyway.Luna’s smug look cracked as she stared fixedly at her. Her gaze shifted from doubt to resentment and unwillingness.Aquilo was not surprised when Lily accused him. He knew that he had done something wrong. If not for Abel’s careful consideration, they would have died here today.However, he was quite surprised to hear her defend him.As he was handcuffed and escorted to the police car, he could not help but turn to look at her.“Lily…”Lily was about to walk to her car.She paused for a moment and turned to look at him calmly.Her usually playful eyes were indifferent at that

    Aquilo opened his mouth but did not know what to say.Just then, a team of uniformed police officers rushed over to the scene to rescue the hostages.Looking at the people standing before them, they could not tell which ones were the hostages.Galen Barker walked over from behind and glanced at them. “What are you still standing here for? Get out quickly!”This manor had an ancient Sommersetese courtyard.The place where they were gathered was a small open space in the courtyard.After passing through the desolate artificial mountain pavilion, they arrived at the large courtyard outside the manor. There were many people gathered there, with many police cars parked nearby.A fire truck had also arrived.To Lily’s surprise, Sean Lovehart and his father were also there and were being escorted into the police car.When he saw her coming out, Denver’s face filled with hatred. He wanted to rush to her and strangle her. “You’ve got guts! You risked your life to drag us down with you!
